1 / The chocolate
Are you gaga of chocolate? You pay attention to your weight but can not do without two or three small squares tasted with coffee after lunch? Warning ! Whether white, black or milk, chocolate can cause acne breakouts. Indeed, several studies have shown that it increases the production of interleukin-1b, a natural protein produced by the immune system that promotes the risk of cutaneous inflammation (and therefore the appearance of acne) ... So, chocolate is good for your morale, of course, but consider limiting its consumption. Your two or three little squares with coffee? Chew them once or twice a week. On other days, replace them with dried fruits (almonds or whole hazelnuts, walnuts ...).

2 / Alcohol
You have probably already noticed: every day after a little ole-ole, one or more small pimples appear on your face. Whose fault is it ? With the glasses of alcohol that you have bus during your crazy evening. Why ? Because the alcohol is too sweet. The sugar it contains causes a rise of insulin in the blood that stimulates hormonal imbalance. In other words, the testosterone levels skyrocket and promotes the appearance of pimples ... Really not great when you know that it tarnishes, ages and also sensitizes the skin. Limit your alcohol consumption to one or two drinks during your next nights out. Otherwise, enjoy drinking a multi-fruit juice or a non-alcoholic cocktail. It's much better !

3 / The white bread
The sandwich bread at breakfast is sacred to you? Bad news, it also promotes the appearance of pimples on the skin. If you opt for full bread for breakfast, you are not concerned. On the other hand, if it's white bread that you bite each morning, there is a small point. The white bread is, as its name suggests, made with white flour (wheat, most often). This flour is a refined cereal product called "processed" and rich in glucose. Once absorbed into the body, it increases the level of insulin in the blood and increases the secretion of sebum and therefore the appearance of pimples. Your slices of breakfast bread? Replace them with wholemeal bread, as mentioned above, or bread made with whole flour (rye, buckwheat, spelled ...).

4 / The crescent
Viennoiserie favorite French, the croissant is regressive and greedy but stuffed with "bad" nutrients. Refined sugar, trans fatty acids, sodium, (...), we know better to maintain a health, a silhouette and ... a skin of hell. You love it? Limit yourself to one croissant per week. Prefer it homemade by using good tips to reduce sugar and added fat (margarine, light butter, sweetener, coconut sugar ...).

5 / The milk
Milk, responsible for outbreaks of blackheads and small pimples on the skin? It would seem so, and especially skimmed cow's milk. Unlike semi-skimmed milk, it contains less fat but more lactose, known to increase the secretion of sebum. To remedy this, prefer plant milks such as soy milk, oat milk, almond milk or hazelnut milk. Without lactose, these "fake milk" are enriched with vitamin E, the vitamin with antioxidant properties essential to have a beautiful skin.

6 / Pasta
On the menu last week, it was carbo 's spaghetti on Tuesday, Bolognese lasagna on Thursday and cannelloni stuffed on Saturday? No wonder one or more pimples are hatching on your skin. Like commercial bread, the most commonly purchased pasta is made from white flour and is therefore refined grain products. As a reminder, refined grains = high glucose = increased insulin = sebum secreted ... And it is the same for white rice! From now on, buy whole pasta or rice to avoid any problem of acne.

7 / The steak-fries
At home, it's still steak (beef) -frites Sunday afternoon? Again, it's not surprising that you have skin problems. According to the studies, cooking red meat effectively would cause a chemical reaction between its lipids and its proteins to form compounds called "advanced glycation end products". The latter, factors of cardiovascular disease or diabetes, promote skin aging, weaken the skin and increase the risk of pimples. French fries, for their part, are, like crescent, high in trans fat ... Replace your steak with lean meat or poultry cooked in foil or just in a pan. Substitute your potato fries with vegetable fries (carrots, zucchini, turnips ...), with a light hand on the oil, or steamed with a knob of butter. Just as good!

8 / Sweets
No need to make a diagram, which says "candy" says "sugar", "insulin spike" and "sebum secretion". In addition, they are bad for your teeth and your silhouette ... Skip the Haribo®, Carambar®, M & M's® and company. You will avoid any worries!

9 / The potato
A star of our plates, the potato favors the appearance of skin problems. Why ? Because, contrary to what one thinks, it is not rich in slow sugars and has a high glycemic index (responsible for a peak of glycemia and insulin in the blood). Just like refined cereal products, limit its consumption and prefer legumes or legumes to increase satiety and feel full.

10 / The pie chart
Camembert but also Brie, Bleu de Bresse, Edam, Emmental or Gruyère (...), cheeses made from cow's milk are also to be avoided if you suffer from skin problems. Addicted to the cheese platter? Opt for cheeses based on goat's milk or sheep's milk (goat, feta, brick, halloumi ...) without increasing the secretion of sebum and the appearance of acne on your skin.
